Kurt B. Kaiser <k...@shore.net> added the comment: Not issue 1529353. Edit window stops updating after about 60 keystrokes when a tooltip window is active.
1. Strings not necessary. Only occurs when a tooltip is active. For example, if rz is undefined, entering rz( followed by a long key sequence won't raise the bug. 2. When the tooltip window closes, the hidden keystrokes appear. This can be triggered by moving the edit window or clicking somewhere. Once the tooltip window has closed, things act normally again. 3. Remarkably, one can autorepeat, say, five lines of 'i' with no problem. Then enter another 50 - 60 'i' individually, and the bug exhibits. I thought that typematic processing took place at the keyboard driver level, so that Tk would get passed the equivalent of single keystrokes. This bug would be annnoying when entering long parameter tuples, e.g. when doing GUI coding. I'm running Tk 8.5 on WinXP at the moment. I'm guessing that this is a Tk bug. ---------- assignee: -> kbk components: +Tkinter nosy: +kbk priority: normal -> high stage: -> needs patch status: pending -> open title: IDLE: slowness, pauses enter long strings -> IDLE/Tkinter: edit win stops updating when tooltip is active type: performance -> behavior versions: +Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5219> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
